Stampin' Up!'s New Vintage Wallpaper Texture Folder

Here is a sample of what I have done

using the fabulous & new Textured Impressions Folder -

Vintage Wallpaper

OMG I love this one!

This was one of a gazillion old frames from a rummage sale,

and I have a soft spot for frames - there is SO much you can do with them!

Here's the close-up....

I have highlighted that great embossed design

with some WHITE CRAFT INK by

just lightly swipping the cardstock's raised design

with my ink pad. A couple of times actually.

The punched out flowers in glittery paper and

the button is sew on with linen thread.

This is a outline stamp I just received new from

my last order - FREE - that of course is what happens

when you order a certain amount (yeah!) and

I used my AQUA PAINTER and STAMPIN' PASTELS

to colour the images, and a glue dot to mount the

sweet lil' chick! Cutie pie!

Now here it is paired with another ol' frame I

filled with the parts of post-card.....i plan on expanding

this 'vignette' as I find more rummage/garage sale frames!

Thanks for dropping in!

Don't forget to read below as you are welcome to my OPEN HOUSE!!!

Gothic Birthday Card

Have a friend who appreciates the gothic sensibilities? Then dig into your creative spirit and look at the norm through a wonderful, rich and dark prism! I chose a designer paper with a fab colour set. Next why do butterflies when a moth will be better? Here Tim Holtz’s Funky Insects die set does the trick. To make it a tad interesting I placed a pocket inside and crafted a ATC which doubled as a coffee gift card holder. A second large tag holds my message. Well crafters, explore your options and enjoy!

Funky Insects Tim Holtz - first projects

Funky Insects Thinlits Dies (not including bee die shown upper left ) Tim Holtz's Funky Insects are a hoot to play with. I am just playing to discover the million-gazillion ways to colour each bug and not concerned with how to design projects featuring them yet. Here's a tall slimline card, an A2 card and an ATC that l've created so far. To get inspired, you only have to look at the amazing designers that contribute to Tim's Chapter releases such as this year's Chapter 2 release. To be honest, l was not bothered cutting so many parts for the different insects as l thought l might be....time flew by as l cut batches of the body 'base' and then spent most of my time inking, embossing, painting, etc the wings and body sections. There lies the fun!

Easter "Scallop Circle" Chick Card

Isn't this the cutest! The second I laid eyes on the card which inspired me - I was OMG ! So I had to do one! IT'S A EASY - QUICK 5 MIN. PROJECT! GREAT KIDS PROJECT! We made ours after having breakfast and in no time flat! Technique: You can see from the pictures that you must fold your cardstock at the 5-1/2 mark, and CUT the Scallop Circle LEAVING A SMALL PART OF THE FOLD OVERHANGING THE CIRCLE OUTLINE - that is how you make a card - and not 2 Scallop Circles. A small scallop punch is cut into wedges - those make up the wings. Punch your other parts, fold the square on the diagonal for its beak, then glue everything on. We highlighted the eyes and beak - voila! Basic Supplies: CARDSTOCK: 11x8 in. yellow, 1 in square orange scrap, black scrap; BIG SHOT XL BIGZ DIE: Scallop Circle; HAND PUNCHES: flower, scallop circle (any size), small circle punch; Other: 1" square orange cardstock, white gel pen, glue.
